I don't remember which file that is but I'm going to guess it will be fine. Usually, at the most, you will only see an "unexpected contents error" message if the modified file is a problem. This is a very small update. I have modified files in system/app, system/etc, system/media/audio/ui, busybox installed, a custom kernel and it flashed fine. You will need the supersu zip to install in recovery because you will lose the supersu binary. I flashed the OTA and supersu one after the other. But...as far as I know the OTA is ONLY for 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. If you are on 4.4.2 you can fastboot flash the boot, radio and system image from the factory image without losing any data. You could also flash the 4.4.3 ota then the 4.4.4 ota. You should be fine but will have to redo the tether hack... and flash the supersu zip.
[Nexus 5 General] Zyphur:
Can I just dirty flash 4.4.4.

Don't want to erase my phone all over again this soon.

running stock rom 4.4.3 + xposed and franco.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Absolutely! As long as you haven't modified a ton of system files you should be good. You will need to flash the supersu zip also. Looks to me like the radio got updated also, at least it has a different version number in the factory image. Forgot to mention you will need to go into xposed, hit install and reboot. And I'm not sure if your 4.4.2 radio will cause an "unexpected contents error" message or not! If it does you will need to fastboot flash the 4.4.3 radio image for the 4.4.4 OTA. Hopefully it won't throw an error. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

I'm curious if the older radio will cause an error, let us know! If it does it should just reboot and you will stay on 4.4.3
[Nexus 5 General] Zyphur:
Install/update or did you mean uninstall?

Mind telling me how to dirty flash it? I think I know but I've never dirtied a system update like thus and rather not take a gamble :p
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I would install the OTA with whatever custom recovery you are using, TWRP is what I use. If you are still using the 4.4.2 radio which your signature states it might or might not cause an error, I'm not sure because I've always used the newest radio available. [REF] Nexus 5 Stock OTA URLs
[Nexus 5 General] siren215:
I hope the wifi prob is sorted out in this update. I am experiencing the net goes off every 10 min, even if the wifi stays connected full signal.
[Nexus 5 General] JacquesR:
FYI, Cerberus (the hidden version that shows as "System Framework") survives flashing the OTA in recovery too, and doesn't generate any errors.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I would suspect your router. Firmware updated? I'm not saying your device does not have an issue, just that all of my devices and all of my brother's devices (N5 & 2012 N7) have never had any wifi issues. My router only uses 2.4 GHz so I do have my devices configured to use ONLY that band in the wifi advanced settings.
[Nexus 5 General] siren215:
Same, i have a dual band router bt configured to be used on 2.4 Ghz. and all my other devices work well with it. On nexus, if m watching youtube n all, it doesnt drop, but during idle times, it drops sometimes. Like while chatting on whatsapp suddenly my messages stop, even if wifi connected.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
That sucks! Have you ever tried clearing the data for whatsapp in settings/apps? I don't use the app myself, just a thought. Also, I don't know how much of a difference it really makes but I have reserved IP addresses for all of my devices setup in my router. The time it takes to connect and the speed (30 Mbps down & 6 Mbps up) on my devices is right up there with my desktop that uses an Ethernet cable.
[Nexus 5 General] Zyphur:
Got an unexpected content error like you said. Can I update the radio all from my phone without fastboot? No PC ATM.
[Nexus 5 General] STHD:
thanks OP for the update...

Just a question.. is this 4.4.4 radio different to 4.4.3, i am on stock 4.4.3 with root on LGD851model,(where can i find the 4.4.4 radio for 851 if it is different with 850)

thanks
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I've only ever used the sdk. You would have to do some research but I'm thinking maybe the app Flashify. But you would still have to extract the radio image from inside the factory image.

Can't find any solution searching threads... Any help, please? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
That's a damn good question! Yes, the radio was updated from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. And I think the models are 820 and 821.

I've never experienced a status 7 error but I did find this. [EASY] [GUIDE] status 7 error in CWM/TWRP while flashing Rom/Mod [UPDATED 23/05/14]

error: device not found

I'm in..

Scenario #1

You are completely stock. Unlocked/locked bootloader. No root permissions.

Continue to Section A

1) Download the OTA.zip on your PC, rename the file update.zip, then place file in the same directory as adb.

2) Make sure you have USB Debugging checking in the Developer Options, then connect your phone.

3) Open the command prompt from the directory above on your PC and type the command: 'adb reboot recovery'

4) When in recovery, you’ll see an android laying down. Press volume up and release. The menu will appear. Select “apply update from adb”

5) Using the command prompt type: 'adb sideload update.zip'

after this cmd shows error..

[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
If you typed adb devices and then hit enter and do not see your device id then you do non have the drivers installed.

It's been a long time since I've used a stock recovery so bear with me. Are you in fastboot now?

no not in fastboot right now

and in recovery mode..

[Nexus 5 General] X-15:
So I was running stock rooted 4.4.3 with clockwork recovery, flashed the OTA, and now can't get clockwork to "stick".

The OTA had a new recovery, and now when I flash CWM it works, but won't survive a reboot. If I flash CWM and select "Recovery mode" I get CWM, but it's gone upon reboot, same if I flash and immediately reboot.

Anyone seeing something similar?
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Great, your update zip needs to be in the same folder as adb.exe and it should work!
[Nexus 5 General] :
no its not working..

it again showing same error..

You probably have something like recovery-from-boot.p in /system, delete or rename it with whatever file manager you use. I use Root Explorer.

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I have never had any reason to use adb sideload because I've always used the sdk to flash images. I'm at a loss. Sorry! I'm trying to think right now if you could use fastboot boot TWRP to flash the OTA without your bootloader unlocked but I need to check. Nope you need an unlocked bootloader, that's what I thought. I was thinking you could temporarily boot TWRP to flash the OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] wigginst:
Is the zip file size really 2.45mb or do I have a bad download?
[Nexus 5 General] :
hey wait..

I found that while I was trying to sideload update.zip

it was showing error. My device showing adb sideload <filename>..

I managed to get it to stay by flashing SuperSU before rebooting, thanks though!
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
That's correct! Very small update!
[Nexus 5 General] brichardson1991:
Flashed this just a few minutes ago and didn't realise it would wipe my recovery back to stock, I also now don't have root, as it's missing the binary.

What would be the best way to approach this?

Re-root using CF-Auto-root in adb, then flash my recovery.

I had Philz Touch Recovery and supersu.

Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Uninstall the driver and the driver software, reboot, plug in your N5 and install the driver again. You need to know where the driver is on your system so that you can point the install to it.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

My N5 and my N7 both still had TWRP on them after the update. And you will Always lose the supersu binary after an OTA.. I don't use any toolkits, I would fastboot flash the recovery and then use it to install the supersu zip.
[Nexus 5 General] brichardson1991:
It's early morning I forgot to put the supersu zip to flash that after the update..

But will have to wait until I'm home now.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
That sounds weird because you don't need to be rooted to run a custom recovery.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

;) The Horror!
[Nexus 5 General] [XIX]Secutor:
Just did a dirty OTA.zip install with several system mod (viper4android, xposed, volume mod, new gpu drivers). It wiped my CWM and superSU binaries, so I had to fastboot recovery and flash again superSU, but other than that everything went good :good:
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I wonder why some people lost there recovery and I didn't, weird.
[Nexus 5 General] brichardson1991:
Clearly you are more lucky then most of us.
[Nexus 5 General] [XIX]Secutor:
Well, during the upgrade process I read something like "patching recovery", so it wasn't a surprise when I've seen the original one, after a reboot.

Maybe it depends on the custom recovery we had before the upgrade? I had the CWM, maybe it doesn't happen with TWR
[Nexus 5 General] X-15:
Yeah, I tried several times and CWM just wouldn't stay... Decided to just try and get root back to make fixing it easier, and somehow that made CWM stick.
[Nexus 5 General] brichardson1991:
I imagine it must be as I lost Philz touch recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I was just looking and I don't see anyone using TWRP like myself claiming to have lost their recovery. I also saw "patching recovery" on my devices and there was a "reboot from recovery.bak" or something like that in /system on both my N5 and N7 that I deleted earlier. Running TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the N5 and TWRP 2.7.1.0 on the N7 I believe. And I'm sure I booted into recovery at least once before I got around to deleting the "reboot from recovery.bak" if I'm remembering the name right.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Flashed updater OTA zip in TWRP. Didn't lose TWRP but did lose root...easy to fix as SuperSU was still in downloads.
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Exactly! The supersu zip is only 1+MB. I always have it on my devices.
[Nexus 5 General] [XIX]Secutor:
Well it seems like TWRP is way harder to remove than CWM :D
[Nexus 5 General] :
hey, I finally installed it correctly.. After uninstalling each driver.. Problem was still there.. So after Rebooting recovery and selecting update from ADB.. It was showing Device Manager in computer, other device>Nexus 5 with exclamation mark.. I installed there from this guide howto_driver.zip

Now I'm running successfully 4.4.4..

I have doubt here.. Runtime still shows Dalvik it is Ok?? Means I heard that New 4.4.4 update run on art only...

My data is still there, sideloading does not cleared my data.. Is it okay??
[Nexus 5 General] brichardson1991:
Fortunately I found a spare computer at work with admin rights copied mini adb tools to it and the driver for fastboot flashed recovery and got it back. Now back up and fully running with 4.4.4 with Philz Touch Recovery and SuperSU. Happy days!!

I got something: when I try to flash OTA Update zip through CWM, it says:

"Verifying current system... "/system/app/Books.apk" has unexpected contents.

E:Error in /data/media...[OTA zip file name].zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

It seems that OTA is looking for system apps, I guess it's Google Play Books, but I uninstalled (with Titanium Backup) several Google Apps like Books, Music, Games, Kiosko, Google+... and now these files are not in /system/app folder. So, I think this is causing the OTA to fail.

Now, question is: how to solve this?
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:

Fastboot flash the system image.
[Nexus 5 General] maortrol:
I'm not sure how to do that... :confused:

Edit: you mean to flash the entire image of 442 Mb of 4.4.4 (KTU84P)?
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Think you can install the Android sdk and java jdk? Piece of cake really.

Or their are some tools to make the install easier. I use the full sdk myself.
[Nexus 5 General] maortrol:
Do you mean to flash the entire image of 442 Mb of 4.4.4 (KTU84P)? Is there any way to flash only the OTA without losing data?
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
I thought you said you flashed the OTA and got an error. You DO NOT have to flash the whole factory image. You would need to extract the system image from inside the factory image and flash that so you could do the 4.4.4 update but at that point you might as well flash the radio and system image of 4.4.4 and you would be up to date. Also doing that you will not lose Any data.
[Nexus 5 General] maortrol:
I tried to flash the OTA file (2.45 MB) via CWM recovery, and it failed with Status 7 error.

You said then: "Fastboot flash the system image"

And I asked: "Do you mean to flash the entire image of 442 Mb of 4.4.4 (KTU84P)?"

Or can I flash via ADB just this OTA zip file? I'm currently at work and can't try to use Fastbook mode with my PC to see if I can do that...
[Nexus 5 General] wantabe:
Sorry, I've got one eye open at this point. If you're getting an error trying to flash the update you could flash the 4.4.3 system image so that the OTA would work but I would personally at this point flash the radio and system image from 4.4.4 and be done with it. I'm not familiar with the status 7 error, I've never encountered it.

The boot image and bootloader do not need to be flashed because they did not get updated.
[Nexus 5 General] onesolo:
no...

flash the entire 4.4.3 system.img file and then flash the OTA, you will have no more errors on recovery
[Nexus 5 General] maortrol:
Where can I find those "system image" and "radio" files that I should flash? ;)

Factory Images for Nexus Devices

I'm on stock 4.4.3,

Wow, simply wow... just flash on phliz recovery the OTA file, and even with xposed installed and active, I was able to get the OTA installed fine!!!

After that, I wiped cache and dalvik and installed Supersu 1.99r4 (the file that I had).

After rebooting the phone, had to download SuperSu from store, update the binaries, reboot, installed again Xposed and reboot, and now everything is fine!!
[Nexus 5 General] Kong Tzer Shi:
Just want to confirm. My device,

Stock ROM,

cf-auto root,

Xposed installed.

Just uninstall the Xposed Installer, go to SuperSU setting, tick "enable Pro", tick "Survival mode", and can straight away go to OTA. Am i correct?
[Nexus 5 General] solarspeed:
No. Go to Xposed installer, uninstall framework from there, and only them apply OTA. You can otionally check OTA survival box or just re-root your phone later, as the update breaks root and survival mode does not guarantee 100% success.
[Nexus 5 General] Kong Tzer Shi:
Thanks for the explanation. If the survival mode failed after OTA i just re-root use the cf-auto root? Current cf-auto root support this latest version?

The only thing I can think of that I did wrong is flashing the kernal via flashboot (whatever that means, I'm just following instructions without understanding their implications) as noted at the bottom of the wikipage. Do I need to flash a new kernal that's compatible with CyanogenMod? I don't know where to go from here.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wlinsong:
is there someone how to get application from Windows Mobile 5.0's ROM ,such as battery monitor.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hjgode:
Hi

did you already read about grab_it and dumprom? The first will make a dump of the rom and the second tool will extract all files from the dump.

What will you do with the file?

If you like to disable a rom executable, just copy another executable on top of it (use the same name). The rom file is then behind and will not be launched. So you can disable, for example, ActiveSync comming up, if you write a small exe and place it as repllog.exe in the windows dir.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
I am experiencing what seems to be a reproducible phone crash while casting Google Play Music to my TV. If the phone goes to sleep while casting and I wake it, hitting volume down or up buttons while on the lock screen crashes the phone. I couldn't replicate the crash while casting YouTube, only Google Play Music. Also, no crashing when adjusting song volume from lock screen while not casting. When the phone crashes it goes straight to the boot animation, no splash screen shown, and gets stuck there. I have to force shutdown to get it to turn off.

Phone is s-off, rooted, running latest stock.

Anyone with a Chromecast willing to replicate this crash? Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks.

Its happening to me too. Are you using xposed mod to wake with volume button? I am and I'm thinking that might be the cause. I'll try it a little later and report back.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
No xposed mod or anything else. All I'm doing is trying to adjust the volume of the song that is playing, which one should be able to do while casting, and the whole phone crashes. Is this an HTC problem or Google problem? midnight assassin, what ROM are you running?
